Default Question on a set of 18"s -- Help!!

Does anyone know if running a set of staggered wheels at 18x8.5 35 offset 225/40/18 and 18x9.5 35 offset 235-245/40/18 will give any rubbing issues when installed? If not what springs could I then use for a drop with no rubbing??? Open to all HELP!!

Just considering the wheel: For the 18x8.5's you need a 45mm offset. the 35 will stick out a little more than 1/4". The rear might be ok, you'd have to test fit though to make sure, it is out of our fittment guides range.

You can use a tire calculator http://www.rims-n-tires.com and go from there depending on the look you want. +45 is the stock offset.

The offset sucks, for those tires and wheel widths, you need to be +42 to +45 to clear with no rubbing.
